–

Good stuff from the Canadians around the lower levels, as 19-year-old Liam Draxl and partner Stefan Kozlov won the doubles at the Lexington Challenger.

Also in Lexington, Alejandro Tabilo (who now represents Chile), reached the singles final.

And the doubles final at the WTA 125K tournament in Charleston was an all-Canadian affair. Rebecca Marino and partner En-Shuo Liang eked out a close one against Kiwi/Canadian Erin Routliffe and her partner Aldila Sutjiadi.
